I discovered a few of these young trees growing on the plot I have planned for my garden and left them, recognizing them as some sort of fruit tree and thinking they were something I wanted to keep. Now that I know what they really are, I will be cutting the extremely thorny nuisances down to the ground and eliminating them. I've never been fond of "Bradford Pears" (which is a cultivar of Pyrus calleryana), and if I'm going to have a tree in my garden, it will either bear fruit or nuts, be a good, long-lived shade tree that provides for nature's creatures (as in food or habitat), bear beautiful, pleasantly fragrant blooms, stunning spring or fall color, or at least have a unique, visually impactful form. This is an Asian arborial weed! |
